Maybe my memory is faulty, but I never remembered having to pay a surcharge to use a credit card. Now everywhere I go there are signs saying that there is a 2.5-3.5% surcharge to use a car (and others that say that there’s a 2.5-3.5% discount for using cash, I assume to get around wording)


This is really the best answer, I think. Except the agreement you have to sign to take Visa cards used to stipulate that you could not offer a discount for cash.
